War/Military Classics
This is a list of my favourite films based around war and the military, not what I assume the majority of audiences thinks is the best but what I grew up with and also therefore what I appreciate for either carrying on the tradition or breaking the mold respectively!

- DiretoresKen AnnakinAndrew MartonGerd OswaldEstrelasJohn WayneRobert RyanRichard BurtonOs eventos do Dia D relatados do ponto de vista aliado e do alemão.The good ol' days' equivalent of today's Avengers in a sense, this war film is a powerhouse of heavyweight actors from a different era being what superheroes of WWII were. For a dated classic it's still a beautifully made film and holds its own against today's fare!
- DiretorRichard AttenboroughEstrelasSean ConneryRyan O'NealMichael CaineOperação Market Garden, setembro de 1944: Os Aliados tentam capturar várias pontes estrategicamente importantes na Holanda na esperança de quebrar as linhas alemãs.One of my favourite oldies for the excellent use of the British cast and also not making the British look like second rate heroes to the Americans, the war effort in Holland turns dangerously against the allies' favour
- DiretorDavid LeanEstrelasWilliam HoldenAlec GuinnessJack HawkinsDepois de resolver suas diferenças com um japonês, o comandante do campo, um coronel britânico, coopera para supervisionar a construção de uma ponte ferroviária.Bridge on the River Kwai's overall success led to half a century of films and television movies and miniseries telling much the same story but there is still only one bridge and here it is. A truly close to the bone tale of British POW's forced into Japanese slavery during the war to defeat their own forces' attempts to overcome the East!
- DiretorPeter WeirEstrelasMel GibsonMark LeeBill KerrA história de um grupo de jovens australianos que deixam suas origens para trás e se alistam para se juntar aos ANZACs na Primeira Guerra Mundial. Eles são enviados para Galípoli, onde encontram o resoluto exército turco.A rare classic from when the Aussies started to make some really good films and the world war stories started to dry up. As the war raged on in the rest of the world, the Australians faced daily massacre in the trenches facing the Turks around Egypt. This is a tale of two talented athletes drawn into the conflict where their talent for running could either be the death of them or the lifeline of thousands of weary soldiers
- DiretorSamuel FullerEstrelasLee MarvinMark HamillRobert CarradineUm sargento endurecido e os quatro membros principais de sua unidade de infantaria tentam sobreviver à Segunda Guerra Mundial enquanto se movem de batalha em batalha por toda a Europa.A childhood favourite; Lee Marvin is the grizzled old Sergeant who is serving his second world war with the Big Red One, the First Infantry. His squad, also consisting of a young and talented Mark Hamill and Robert Carradine, make their way across Europe punching through enemy lines on the beaches of Vichy France, Italy and across Africa until finally they break into Germany and discover one of the first concentration camps. A brave tale, often funny, beautifully shot, compelling and full of enough action to keep any boy at heart happy
- DiretorJohn SturgesEstrelasMichael CaineDonald SutherlandRobert DuvallUm complô alemão para sequestrar primeiro ministro Winston Churchill se desenrola no auge da Segunda Guerra Mundial.Michael Caine is the German spy sent to assassinate Churchill. One of his own finest before the great Hollywood black hole of B-Movies that almost ended his career
- DiretorJohn SturgesEstrelasSteve McQueenJames GarnerRichard AttenboroughPrisioneiros de guerra aliados planejam uma fuga maciça de um campo alemão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.One of the most recalled war films of all time and classed as one of the greatest. No need to ask why, just go see it if you haven't yet
- DiretorRobert AldrichEstrelasLee MarvinErnest BorgnineCharles BronsonÀs vésperas do Dia D, um Major do Exército americano é designado para treinar uma unidade composta por 12 criminosos condenados para uma missão suicida por trás das linhas inimigas na França em troca do perdão pelos seus crimes.The original war film that made a hero of Lee Marvin's grizzled antihero type. Aging Colonel Reissman is given the dirtiest job of all during the war; to tame and train American war criminals to get behind enemy lines on a suicide mission. Disrespected and doubted by his peers, his team pull together finally to prove that they might just be the baddest squad of soldiers there ever were, even if they're all goofballs and psychopaths. One of the few films that manages to be hilarious and remain deadly serious, also featuring one of the finest casts ever. Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, John Cassavettes, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown and Clint Walker are included.
- DiretorRobert AltmanEstrelasDonald SutherlandElliott GouldTom SkerrittO pessoal de um hospital de campo de guerra coreano usa o humor e a astúcia para manter a sanidade diante do horror da guerra.The Korean war seen from the point of military surgeons who try to remain sane by being as crazy as possible. Involves playing drunken golf on minefields and lots of pranks. Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould and Robert Duvall are brilliant
- DiretorBrian G. HuttonEstrelasClint EastwoodTelly SavalasDon RicklesUm grupo de soldados americanos se esgueira pelas linhas inimigas para chegar em um esconderijo secreto de tesouros nazistas.The original Three Kings and still the best. An action comedy that doesn't trivialise the effects of war unless it involves killing Germans wholesale. Kelly's Heroes is about Clint Eastwood's crazy and disgraced platoon leader catching wind that the Germans are hiding a huge stash of gold behind enemy lines and takes an unauthorised mission behind enemy lines to get it. Telly Savalas gets to be a hero, as again does Donald Sutherland, with the inclusion of Don Rickles.
- DiretorRobert AldrichEstrelasMichael CaineCliff RobertsonIan BannenA reluctant hero, American Lieutenant Sam Lawson, is seconded to a motley British unit tasked with destroying a Japanese radio on a Philippine island.Michael Caine and his British squad are stuck behind enemy lines on a covert mission in the Pacific East. Hunted down by the Japanese, either they have to risk their lives to escape back to base or be killed playing it safe
- DiretorGuy HamiltonEstrelasMichael CaineTrevor HowardHarry AndrewsEm 1940, a Força Aérea Real Britânica trava uma batalha desesperada para impedir que a Luftwaffe ganhe superioridade aérea sobre o Canal da Mancha como prelúdio para uma possível invasão do eixo do Reino Unido.Description needed?
- DiretorMichael AndersonEstrelasRichard ToddMichael RedgraveUrsula JeansDrama based on the attempt by the RAF to destroy six dams in Germany during World War II.And again?
- DiretorWalter GraumanEstrelasCliff RobertsonGeorge ChakirisMaria PerschyUm esquadrão da RAF é designado para derrubar uma fábrica de combustível de foguete alemã na Noruega. A fábrica fornece combustível para o esforço nazista de lançar foguetes na Inglaterra durante o Dia D.And again?
- DiretorJack GoldEstrelasMalcolm McDowellChristopher PlummerSimon WardIn World War I, the high casualty rate amongst the rookie pilots of the Royal Flying Corps puts an enormous strain on the survivors.Malcolm McDowall's turn to be the hero, I enjoyed this a lot even though it was quite late after all the original arial combat films such as Battle of Britain and Dam Busters. It's nice also though because it's a lot less dated and feels more authentic
- DiretorBrian G. HuttonEstrelasRichard BurtonClint EastwoodMary UreMilitares aliados encenam uma incursão ousada a um castelo alpino ocupado pelos alemães, onde esta preso um general americano - mas isto não é tudo o que realmente está a acontecer.One of the boys adventures sees the titan team up of Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton and their covert team infiltrating the Eagle's Nest in the Bavarian Alps to snatch a scientist from the Nazi's. Fir it's time, this is as white knuckle a ride as it gets and believe me when I say I'm not debunking it. This is a classic and I own it for that reason!
- DiretorJ. Lee ThompsonEstrelasDavid NivenGregory PeckAnthony QuinnUma equipe britânica é enviada para atravessar o território grego ocupado e destruir a localização massiva de armas alemãs que dominam um canal marítimo chave.Gregory Peck *beep* German *beep* up!
- DiretorGuy HamiltonEstrelasHarrison FordRobert ShawEdward FoxDurante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, vários peritos militares são juntos numa missão de ataque.Not the type of film you'd have expected our Harry Ford to have jumped into after Star Wars, especially since he was a carpenter up until that time but Robert Shaw takes ford and also Carl Weathers on their mission to blow up a damn to screw the Germans over for the allies. Not great but enjoyable!
- DiretorTim BurstallEstrelasJohn Phillip LawMel GibsonSam NeillA group of Australian commandos launch a secret mission against Japanese forces in World War II.Another Australian gem, this time starring a fresh faced Sam Neill along with Mel Gibson. A suicide special forces mission by the Aussies to a Pacific island quickly goes sour but an Asian village vows to stand by the Australians and help them complete their mission against all odds
- DiretorFrancis Ford CoppolaEstrelasMartin SheenMarlon BrandoRobert DuvallUm oficial do exército dos Estados Unidos no Vietnã é encarregado de assassinar a um coronel que acredita ser um deus.The daddy of Vietnam films, an army Captain is sent into most dangerous Cambodia to assassinate a brilliant Colonel gone mad but with the madness of the war in full swing, will he even get there with his mind and soul in one piece?
- DiretorTed KotcheffEstrelasGene HackmanPatrick SwayzeRobert StackDez anos depois que seu filho desapareceu em ação no Vietnã, o coronel aposentado da Marinha dos EUA Jason Rhodes monta uma equipe de resgate privada para encontrar americanos detidos em campos de prisioneiros de guerra no Laos.One of the few films to seriously tackle the issue of MIA US soldiers in Vietnam over ten years after the end of the war, Colonel Rhodes, a retired soldier is out to find his son since the government refuses to get involved. For this, he enlists the battle scarred and guilt ridden team mates that were forced to leave Jason behind. But tracked by the CIA, they have no choice but to head for Cambodia illegally and without the weapons they will need!
- DiretorOliver StoneEstrelasCharlie SheenTom BerengerWillem DafoeUm jovem recruta no Vietnã, se vê preso em uma batalha de vontades entre dois sargentos, um bom e outro mau. Um exame perspicaz da brutalidade da guerra e da dualidade do homem em conflito.Another powerhouse Vietnam movie and the one I grew up with. A now all star cast including Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, Johnny Depp, Forest Whittaker, Keith David and Kevin Dillon sees a platoon of soldiers battling the guerrilla tactics of their most vicious enemies and inner conflict between their own as the effects of the war turns young men into monsters. Oliver Stone's possible best.
- DiretorJohn IrvinEstrelasAnthony BarrileMichael BoatmanDon CheadleUma interpretação bem realista de uma das batalhas mais sangrentas da Guerra do Vietnã.John Irvin's answer to Platoon sees the mass war effort forcing young men up a hill already won from the *beep* countless times and the veterans who won it questioning why their best friends are dying for what they had already accomplished for the US Army
- DiretorStanley KubrickEstrelasMatthew ModineR. Lee ErmeyVincent D'OnofrioUm marinho dos Estados Unidos nota os deshumanizantes efeitos da guerra do Vietnã em seus colegas.Kubrick's break from the norm, he takes a documentary style of direction to a particularly grim side of the Vietnam war... in the bombed out cities where snipers wait at every turn and the troops actively hate each other so that their friends' inevitable deaths won't affect them. As a result the all out discrimination and contempt is often hilarious but Kubrick nails how the war trivialised troops' care for human life and values
- DiretorClint EastwoodEstrelasClint EastwoodMarsha MasonEverett McGillTom Highway, o sargento de artilharia da Marinha, entra em conflito com seus superiores e sua ex-esposa ao assumir o comando de um pelotão de reconhecimento com uma atitude ruim.A decent TV movie sees Clint Eastwood's vinegar pissing Gunnery Sergeant put in charge of the worst bunch of flunk-outs the Rangers have ever seen just in time for the Falklands War. It tries to recreate the Dirty Dozen feel somewhat and falls short but it's still fun to watch just for Eastwood's refusal to ever fail at anything but being pleasant.
